The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

Expert: Al-Qaida Has Presence In South Florida
Full Story

MIRAMAR, Fla. -- Despite the massive federal, state and local law enforcement effort to stop terrorists from entering the United States, there is no strong evidence of how well it is working.

Many experts are concerned that there are plenty of terrorists or sympathizers already in the country who have been here for years. Some are even citizens.

The Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers were the first wave and now the increasing number of arrests seems to signal a second wave of terrorism in South Florida.

Thanks Davey! Wish some judges were put in the place of the victims of the crimes for which they are sentencing the criminals and see if they like the sentence rendered were it their own family affected.

From advocacy to terrorism - a line blurs

Mindaneo is the new Afghanistan

Girls' slayings awaken outrage in Juarez

Dealing with the children of illegal immigrants - an excellent read

SNIP: Many Border Patrol agents express frustration over the dilemma. They also worry that the high volume of non-Mexicans is taking up much of their time and might be making it easier for potential terrorists to slip past. Some said they spend much of their 10-hour shift processing non-Mexicans.

One night last month when six agents were processing non-Mexicans at the Border Patrol's Rio Grande City station, for example, only seven agents were patrolling the 84 miles of river under their watch.

How sorry will someone / anyone be when the next batch of terrorists admits they slipped into the USA via this virtual Welcome Wagon scenario? Guess we're not supposed to notice this is going on and let them join the thousands of others who are already here with allegiance to their homeland and not ours!

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

We will go down fighting.
Or, perhaps, not at all...


Hi nully missed your humor.

Which do you mean the fighting or going down? ;~)

[null and void]

Going down.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

Do you think we are out of danger or are you a liberal? LOL

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

Wish some judges were put in the place of the victims of the crimes for which they are sentencing the criminals and see if they like the sentence rendered were it their own family affected.

This would work. We had a local judge, his daughter was killed by a drunk driver. Every DUI case he had he gave the max.

[null and void]

I think we will prevail.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

I think we will prevail.

LOL I do to one way or another. smiles

Did you know we had a military base where Syria fired the scuds into to Turkey? Ankara and Hatay are very close to each other.

Students March To US Military Base in Ankara,Turkey
~snip~
On May 6, university students from the Communist Party of Turkey and the Patriotic Front from all over Turkey held a demonstration in Ankara

~snip~
After that, students took off to Adana, a city in southern Turkey, to announce in front of the Incirlik Military Base that the US imperialism will be kicked out from the military base and from Turkey

~snip~
Adnan Kemal Basaran, who made a statement in the name of the demonstrators, said that the USA had come only for a few months but never left the Incirlik Base. He added that it was hurting the independence of the country that Incirlik Base or any part of out country was submitted to the orders of the USA and used in the interests of imperialism. He concluded that the USA had to go out of Incirlik.
Chanting slogans against the US imperialism and its collaborators, the demonstrators left the town with busses.

exit Syrian from deporting bricks and termination first to final liquidations
of glass of the scientist started!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok I did two google searches, I am not reading articles tonight, so am going with impressions from the words in the link list.

This: "exit Syrian from deporting bricks". refers to deportation, take a look, you will see.

This: " termination first to final liquidations
of glass of the scientist started!" refers to Jewish articles.

You will find strong Jewish in the first search also.

My guess, Zarqawi is hiding in Syria or Palestine or is being deported there from Iran, as President Bush and Crew
warned Iran to not harbor him.

OR: some other meaning of Who is being deported. But then to deport someone, is simply to move them to a new place.

The bricks are for throwing.

Now for your guess......LOL

PFLP/Syrian/Al Qaida in Iraq connection?
The mind says "no" but the gut says "something here is not quite right".

***

The latest edition of Al Qaida in Iraq's "Thurwat As Sanam" publication was released today.



Announced on the Tajdeed forum[1], the new edition was made available at three locations.



The .zip archive (thurwa.zip) decompresses as "majallaF.pdf". An initial analysis of this document and comparison with the first edition of Thurwat[3] suggests that the second edition was produced by a different crew than the first edition, and when one looks at the name associated with the document, the story gets considerably more interesting.

This is the 'Properties' screen of the second edition:



Note that the 'Author' field contains a real name: Maher Taha

Maher Taha[4], whose name is more often transliterated as Maher Taher[5], is the spokesman of the Damascus-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Discussion:

There are other interpretations of this information.

1. It *could* be some other Maher Taha.

No doubt, it could be.

2. Maher Taha could be a nickname, just as the first edition of this magazine was authored by "Shahad".

This I find difficult to accept. I have seen countless such nicknames and Maher Taha simply doesn't fit the pattern.

3. The name of the PFLP's spokesman really should be transliterated as "Maher Taher" so perhaps the "Maher Taha" reference in Islam Online is an anomaly.

Given the poor quality of the English in the Islam Online reference, that is certainly possible, though you would think they would have at least gotten a personal name right.

4. The ideological issue - PFLP is basically an old school Marxist organization, so one would not expect them to work with Al Qaida in Iraq or vice versa.

For some people this is a clincher, but not for me. On the street level I'll grant you that there is bias and a disinclination to work together, but ultimately the desire to do battle with the United States trumps any ideological considerations.

Finally, we know that the PFLP is active in Iraq[6], no doubt at the behest of their sponsor, the Baathist regime of Syria, which itself has a vested interest in maintaining and supporting the terrorists in Iraq.

I would recommend keeping a sharp eye out for any and all Palestinian, Syrian or PFLP connections to the ongoing terrorist violence in Iraq.

Iraq Ops Yield Suspects, Weapons, Missing Artifacts

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, June 4, 2005 – Operations in Iraq during the past three days yielded a terrorist hideaway, terror suspects, weapons and ammunition stockpiles, and a treasure chest of Iraqi artifacts looted from the Baghdad Museum more than two years ago.
In Anbar province, members of the 2nd Marine Division, operating alongside Iraqi security forces, located about 50 weapons and ammunition caches and a terrorist hideaway within the last 72 hours, Multinational Force Iraq officials said today.

The largest of the caches was found in an insurgent hideaway in an old rock quarry north of Karmah, officials said. There, a complex of underground bunkers contained four fully furnished living spaces, a kitchen with fresh food, two shower facilities and a working air conditioner. Officials said other rooms within the complex were filled with weapons, ammunition, black uniforms, ski masks, compasses, log books, night-vision goggles and fully charged cell phones.

Tips from local residents as well as information garnered from detainees have provided valuable intelligence on the locations of weapons caches, officials said.

On the Kharkh peninsula, a joint Iraqi-U.S. raid early June 3 recovered more than 30 artifacts that had gone missing following the initial liberation of Iraq in 2003, as well as five suspected terrorists, according to Multinational Force Iraq officials.

Iraqi soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 1st Brigade, and 6th Iraqi Army Division detained the suspects and turned the artifacts over to Iraqi authorities for safekeeping, officials said. The brigade recovered additional artifacts two days earlier.

Also in Iraq, soldiers from Task Force Baghdad unearthed a substantial weapons cache June 3 as part of Operation Lightning, focused on minimizing terrorist activity in the Iraqi capital. The operation involves 10 Iraqi Army battalions, 11 special police battalions and five U.S. brigades.

During the June 3 operation south of Baghdad, soldiers from A Company, 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, discovered the stockpile of weapons. It included 80 mortar fuses, 53 120 mm rounds, 16 60 mm rounds and a wide range of bombs, rocket-propelled grenade rounds, rockets, rifles and mortars, officials said.

An explosive ordnance disposal team detonated the unexploded munitions, officials said.

In north-central Baghdad, Iraqi police responded quickly and established order June 3 after a mid-afternoon mortar attack failed to cause significant damage when a round struck a hospital's respiratory center, officials said.

Shortly after 2 p.m., terrorists fired multiple mortar rounds at the respiratory center in the Baghdad Medical City Complex. One mortar round exploded on the respiratory center and another round exploded on the roof of a nearby house, officials said. The terrorists then sprayed the hospital with automatic rifle fire, killing one local citizen.

The incident is under investigation.

In south Baghdad, Iraqi Army soldiers detained several suspected terrorists June 2 on the first day of Operation Lightning South.

Officials said soldiers from the 1st Iraqi Intervention Force, 4th Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, and 3rd Brigade, 3rd Iraqi Army Division, detained 12 suspected terrorists. Among those detained were a terrorist cell financier and a known informant.

The detainees are being held for further questioning, officials said.

"The Iraqi army is proving each day that their performance and ability to coordinate operations is improving," said Army Capt. Brendan Hobbs, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division battle captain. "They are able to execute their tasks and accomplish all of their assigned missions."

Also in Baghdad, Iraqi soldiers and coalition forces captured 15 terror suspects, including three targeted individuals, during a series of early-morning combat operations conducted throughout the capital June 1. The raided also yielded weapons, propaganda, plans and money, officials reported.

Iraqi soldiers conducted the largest operation, a cordon-and-search mission in west Baghdad that netted two detainees, a large amount of foreign currency, an AK-47 assault rifle and two handguns. The soldiers also found a computer with its hard drive intact and a large number of read/writeable CDs and floppy disks thought to contain terrorist propaganda and attack plans, officials said.

Iraqi soldiers also led four raids that led to the capture of two more terror suspects in the Hurriya district of central Baghdad, officials reported.

"The Iraqi Forces are clearly in the fight," said Army Lt. Col. Clifford Kent, a Task Force Baghdad spokesman. "They are fighting aggressively, capturing and killing many terrorists despite threats of retaliation. The extremists' efforts to intimidate Iraqis are failing."

In west Baghdad, Task Force Baghdad soldiers arrested an explosives expert believed to be responsible for attacks along a major highway in the area and captured eight more terror suspects, officials said.

Task Force Baghdad soldiers also seized two targeted suspects officials said are thought to be members of a south Baghdad terror cell involved with kidnapping local citizens. Officials said the suspects were taken into custody for questioning.

It's too bad that's such a strategic base or we could just get out. Then they can watch all the money that base provides to the surrounding economy disappear!! And, I also wonder how much money our government pays them for that base?
